Nah, you're just witnessing natural selection. Those who had their STR halved were tossed to the gelatinous cubes for a clean getaway by the rest of the party. ;) That said, there has been more than once where I have asked or been asked "I want to play a paladin, monk, fighter with high...

It's those magic pools. You either reach mortal perfection (an 18) or become horribly mutated. :)

It is fun to jaw with a creator who has made something you enjoy. I've seen it a lot in custom car culture and similar bespoke items.

If that is an option on a Kickstarter, that would have some appeal, particularly if it were to happen at a convention. Generally, the draw is the setting rather than rules, but the charisma of the author can also be a draw. Not for me personally, but I'm a tired curmudgeon.

Yes it was. Which always surprised me a bit. I never expected clerics to be a heal-bot, more of a defensive spellcaster. Where the wizard addressed situations with spells, the cleric repaired problems and allowed for foresight. Augury, remove curse, slow poison, create water, &c. I remember an...

There are also holy days and high holy days, when stories are told and miracles performed for the masses. You could even have a team-up*, where the allied temples of Lathander and Chauntea have a joint ceremony celebrating the Equinox and having pets and farm animals blessed. * Semi-random...

Thrilled to hear that another season is in production. Greatly enjoyed the first season, with only one quibble.

Yes, I think they're called "ribbons" these days. Not that it isn't bad design... Whelm was the hammer, Wave was the trident. Fighters are the reason why the stat increasing magic items were nearly all Strength based, and to the magnitude they were.

I think you've gotten to the point where I can dare use the Deep. Even if my players make a bee-line to the closest unexplored place it will take awhile. Except they'll walk around the whole plateau first. Drat. Ah well, I cultivate patience.

We used WoD for a Highlander-esque game. That was fun. That is a capital idea, and will try to remember it should I find myself running in WoD again.

Huh, I have the first edition and didn't notice that. I'll have to look again.

Very good. I have a number of these supplements to help set things up, but I could use a couple random tables to see how things progress over the years.

Do any of these supplements consider the passage of time? One thing I am looking for is something that generates domain events over the years. Famine, extreme weather, tragic death or celebrated birth of an heir, discovery of a new resource, &c.
